I'm sure every generation has always felt the same, from Plato on. "Bach? Gone? You mean that hip young musician with those great organ riffs?" But they're wrong, cuz they really WERE old. Unlike the 60s generation.

Yikes.
Depressing, eh?
But, if I recall, you are NOT (barely) in that group (without revealing too much info--just basing it on comments re: HS, etc.), so be happy! [You aren't in "that" group as well due to the XY thingy...comes in handy on this!?]

I'm planning on 102. Which puts me halfway there. I wonder if I get anything for being 100 at FloydFest 61?

That's the spirit; buck the trend, fight the statistics...but, yeah, us guys have some trouble lasting much past 80 if we are currently ~ 20 yrs short of that mark.
I really have just been struck by how many folks are passing, like everyone else noted...jeeezzz. Made me realize it's not that far ahead, eh?

But true . I am not yet in my 60's, but "Black Peter" means more to me now than when I was hearing Jerry sing it live ! That I am now older than George Harrison, Frank Zappa, and Jerry Garcia, when they died, is sobering .
The Doors were a favs of me "youth", but Ray's passing just seems like par for the course , these days, Glad he made to his 70's .
If any death marked the end of the 60's , it was John Lennon's , or strangely, maybe Richard Nixon's .

Took them out to dinner last night . . . geez it's expensive for 5 people at a restaurant!! I told them next week dinner is at the Apartment and its dogs & beans!!
My 17 year old told me how when I was old and bed ridden she was going get pay back (for what I don't know), and I told her when it was my time to go I was going quick and not lingering.
It was a fun dinner.
